Music has long been a universal language, transcending boundaries and sparking change. In a pivotal moment for America, where the country stands on the brink of choosing either love or hate, Stevie Wonder continues to do what he does best—spread love through his timeless melodies.

“We need to choose joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, and peace over war. Every time! We must choose to be above the ugly words, the hateful anger, and the division that those words and anger create,” said Wonder during his passionate speech at the Democratic National Convention. His words have set the tone for his 10-date US tour.

Shortly after his DNC appearance, Wonder released a new anthem, “Can We Fix Our Nation’s Broken Heart.” In it, he challenges listeners with the  question: “Are we brave enough to try?” The song is a prayer for unity, asking if we, as a nation, have the courage to mend the fractured spirit that currently divides us.

The 74-year-old will perform in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Wonder is on a mission to ignite the world to use their voice and vote.

“Now is the time to understand where we are and what it will take to win,” Wonder said. “Win the broken hearts, win the disenchanted, win the angry spirits. Now is the time.”

But Wonder’s tour is not just for the undecided voters. As a token of gratitude, he is offering a select number of complimentary tickets at each stop to community leaders and activists who have already dedicated their time and energy to mending America’s broken heart.

His tour, produced by Wonder Productions and promoted by AEG Presents in partnership with Free Lunch, is set to not only entertain but remind everyone of the importance of this moment. As Stevie said at the DNC, "We must keep on keepin' on until we truly are a united people of these United States."

With each stop, Wonder hopes to inspire not just voters, but individuals, to find common ground, rise above the division, and choose joy, kindness, and peace. In the end, it’s not just about the music. It’s about reminding America that no matter how broken it feels, there’s always hope—and together, we can fix it.
